Right here and now, huge global problems are developing on this planet
which will deeply affect humanity's future, including our possible
extinction. And yet, most national governments, business, local
governments and the people are only interested in the immediate or the
short-term.

To heal this situation I recommend that the UN should create a new
position of High Commissioner for the World's Future and that each
government create a Ministry of the Future or for Future Generations.

Margaret Mead similarly recommended that Universitites should have Departments of the Future.
